    splitting 1 Ethernet cable to 2 cameras

    That looks just like the Dahua PFT1300 PoE Extender: https://us.dahuasecurity.com/product/poe-extender/ which I got from Andy for less than halve the price of that Amazon listing.

    Make camera access through VPN

    It either relays through their server or (most likely) it uses the server to somehow punch a hole through your router's nat/firewall. This appears to be a nice summary of methods to tunnel through a nat/firewall: https://bford.info/pub/net/p2pnat/

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Actually, I think the OEM is Gwelltimes and YooSee is one of their own brands. https://shop.yooseecamera.com/yoosee-paid-cloud-storage-service

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    The Konx (not Knox) website does not say anything about connecting a regular chime as far as I can see: http://www.konxtech.com/Product/detail/l/en/id/6.html The specs on the Alibaba page are probably just wrong. The YooSee product page initially mentioned a PIR which is not there, they have...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    I just checked: resistance across the AC/DC power connector terminals does not drop to zero when the doorbell button is pressed so this idea is unlikely to work (unless the terminals are shorted through a relay or something which I find highly unlikely).

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    If it works that way on the Dahua and Hikvions I suppose it might work. I thought you meant checking if the voltage dropped on the PCB but I now understand you actually mean powering it though the AC/DC connector and see if the voltage drops to zero on that connector if you push the button. Of...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    It's a pushbutton that shortcuts the voltage applied to the contacts (or vice versa it's shorted by default and opens up when pressed). The voltage will certainly drop to 0V in either of these cases depending on the state of the pushbutton. No, that does not follow. The voltage applied to...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    @whoami ™ Even if there were any doorbell wires externally that you could measure (there aren't), the above won't work as I already mentioned: If you could connect your doorbell wires to that button in parallel it would almost certainly fry your doorbell. The external connectors are the...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Question for those of you who purchased the Ubiquiti Instant 802.3af Adapter (I got the INS‑3AF‑I‑G indoor gigabit model with the cordless cilindrical enclosure): Does your unit have a slight rattle to it? I received mine today and I can hear a rattle inside, as if the entire PCB can move...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    That comment was in relation to power negotiation. An 802.3af compliant switch (or your Lorex NVR) is not going to provide power to a non-compliant device such as the YooSee doorbell. This is what happens when a PSE such as a switch tries to determine if there's a device connected that requires...

    Have you looked at this: Ubiquiti USW-Flex: New PoE powered gigabit switch with 4x PoE pass-through (indoor/outdoor) I ordered two of them but I will only be using it for two indoor cams (note: the switch is outdoor rated). The other two ports will be used for generic Ethernet connections in...

    vlan tagging support

    If the goal of the vlan is to keep the device (which might be compromised) from connecting to other vlans for security reasons there's little point in letting the cam do it itself. That would be the equivalent of giving a thief 16 different keys with one fitting your house and asking him...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    It's not a splitter, it's a passive PoE injector and goes on the other end of the cable, right after the switch: Switch -> Ethernet cable -> PoE-injector -> Ethernet cable -> YooSee RJ45 socket See bottom halve (Method 3 &4) of the picture below from their website: The included power-supply...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    If you look at the pictures in the reviews on that page you can see they're all out of focus like the ones from @Cinnman and @vandyman. And people don't even seem to notice or accept it. I guess that's an indication of the level of sophistication of the average doorbell user outside of ipcamtalk.

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    If you don't mind loosing the original functionality of the button then what you want will probably work as my guess is that it is just a regular physical button. Since you already have the additional wiring for a physical chime in place that might not be such a bad idea in your case.

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    I don't think that is likely to work, the contacts inside are meant to provide an input to the embedded microcontrollers GPIO pins. You can't just connect a regular doorbell's wire to that in parallel. You might have better luck hacking the USB chime some way, that's what I plan on doing, not...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    It doesn't have a PIR, the specs on their website were initially incorrect on that part and this has since been corrected. Motion detection is through analysis of the video image only.

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Keep in mind this doorbell will use all 4 pairs of your CAT6 connection (2 for data, 2 for PoE) so if you only have a single CAT6 with no additional wiring you won't have any wires left to connect your existing mechanical doorbell. It's Onvif and offers an RTSP stream and it has been found to...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    According to the specs this doorbell does not follow 802.3 PoE standards. It's passive PoE only which is carried over the 2 unused pairs in a 100Mbit Ethernet connection. It will not negotiate PoE, it will just expect the PoE power to be there without negotiation. This will not work with a PoE...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    I'm not sure how there could be much of a voltage drop just from pressing a button which does not actually cause a physically connected chime to ring. It does send a 433MHz signal of course but again I don't think that would cause much of a voltage drop either, if any. Do those other doorbell...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Yes, it's 433MHz. I mentioned the possibility of sniffing it earlier in this thread, along with two other possible methods of detecting a doorbell press which involve hacking the usb chime, see my earlier posts. You could also sniff the Ethernet or WiFi connection and see if there is something...

    Ubiquiti USW-Flex: New PoE powered gigabit switch with 4x PoE pass-through (indoor/outdoor)

    Received my two USW_Flex's today. Haven't done anything other than hooking one up to one of my US8-60W's PoE ports and sure enough it powers up. That's about all I will have time for for now, too busy with the new home on other fronts.
